My absolute favourite thing about James is how emotionally mature he is. I know there has been lots of talk about his feelings lately, but if you've been watching this family for a long time you know that James seems to be a kid who understands the importance of and enjoys putting his family members before him when they need it. He's not a pushover by any means! Just look how firm he is with the little ones. But he knows that sometimes some family members need a little more love and he's happy for them to get that. The way that he instantly knows what brands and flavours his siblings enjoy in terms of snacks just shows how much like Alicia he is. He's a wonderful big brother and will be an even more wonderful father someday!
One of my favorite qualities of James’ is his Loyalty to Family. Both his biological family and adoptive family. He would give the shirt off his back if they asked for it.
Oh my goodness James is such a well mannered young man. Hes so helpful and polite. The number of kids his age (and adults to be fair) that dont say please or thank you in general conversation is astounding. Hearing James being so naturally polite and eager to help is a massive credit to him and your family.
I've always admired James such a astounding polite and helpful man indeed. Need him to come to Hawaii so I can grab him for one of my granddaughters. Aloha James. God be with you in all you do.
James is a GREAT big brother!!! He knows ALL the kids "favorites" and looks out to make sure they all get hooked up on shopping trips 😁 that's great! And what a HUGE help for you having his reach top shelves and lift all those drinks!
So far James is my favorite (although one shouldn't have favorites, lol). He's so consistently helpful, kind, and polite. Like at 12:12 where James remembers that his mother likes a specific kind of fruit snack. I also appreciate that Alicia gets the kind of fruit snack that the kids like, not the kind that she likes. It's fine to get treats for yourself as a parent, but pushing your own tastes onto your kids too much just breeds resentment.
And just loading up the cart with all the fun stuff you see! I find these hauls really so enjoyable, relaxing, and addictive. I always root for Alicia to find the elusive Caramel Macchiato coffee creamer. I do grocery delivery because I don't like shopping, but man- love me some DD hauls.
James is such a great helper with shopping! He even knows what the kids like and don't like. I really enjoy watching him help you. He's a great teenager.
@@DoughertyDozen you have some really great kids, honestly 😊 I love them all so much just from your vids. Only 1:33 into the video so far, but will definitely be watching the whole thing lol
@@stefanielieb5258 it's really not. People don't always want same thing for a snack. I have like ten or fifteen different snacks in my room. Also non perishable food stays good for a long time
My brain has a hard time wrapping itself around how much it takes to feed your family for a week when starting from scratch...how about an end of the week "what was left over" video short? Lol P.S., James really is so sweet and always so eager to help. So endearing to see 😊
She has shelves and stuff stocked as well so I don't think they finish everything since a lot she buys in bulk but idk cuz everytime she does a haul and brings it home it's always full already when she puts stuff away so I think she likes too plan ahead
Watching James help you and acknowledge what you go through every week around the 40 min mark when you were getting the 4 carts, So thoughtful!! You got a good boy there mama! Good job! and your hauls are always addicting to watch, i dont know how you do it! Super woman, full of love, changing lives! Thanks for being you!
I heart James’ voice. He sounds like the perfect mix of kid and adult. Just when I thought one of your grocery shopping trips couldn’t get any better and you have James riding shotgun, lol. So cute, Alicia!
James is going to be an amazing husband and father one day; I can just tell. “I can find one.” I mean it almost made me cry how helpful he was and did it so eagerly. This reminded me of shopping for family beach trips for our group of 14 and we filled an entire cart with just loaves of bread.
Grocery shopping without considering prices, or looking for sale items has NEVER been my reality!! Not knocking this lady AT ALL...its her money to spend as she wishes...but these shopping videos of hers fascinate me! Not gonna lie I think im addicted to these videos! 😂
Agree. I'm completely fascinated that, even though she said there is 16 people on this vacation, that they would need some of these things for just one week. Like the huge thing of laundry detergent or the gallon of olive oil. I have a family of only 6 and a gallon of olive oil would last 6-8 months, and I cook with it A LOT! LOL
I wonder if this could potentially be an issue for the kids? Understanding budgets and money management skills is very important to learn early in life. I was a bank manager for many years and was always impressed with clients showing their kids money management skills at early age.
This is little of topic.. but with Naveah and DeShawn being temporary in her home until there mother is situated .. buying all these expensive gifts etc... they are going to get used to it .... then what?? When they go back..
I didn’t record it but later he said he never realized how much I go through every week just to provide groceries for the family and how appreciative he is that I do this every week. 😭😭😭
James is such a sweetheart. He’s so helpful and humble. I can’t imagine how done he must have been. So glad he got to spend time with you. Zoey at the end is definitely your mini twin! Enjoy your vacay and RELAX!
I think it would fun if you recorded the fridges/pantry at the last day of the trip and showed whats was left 🤣 And I love how your kids are considering of each other, every time they're always remembering what the others kids like and would want!
Watching your family is so soothing for some reason. I love when you take people along with you to help shop. James is such an amazing helper and he makes me laugh with his goofy Humor ever so often.
OMG So happy you posted! Thank you- your hauls are so satisfying to watch and also like ASMR with the packaging. BUT the best part of your posts is your awesomely huge heart, Alicia. Really look forward to your all your excellent content.
What a dream to throw whatever you want into the cart without searching for the cheapest brand! 🤣 It takes me forever to compare prices to find the cheapest!! Lol
I love James he always puts his family before everything. If someone asks him to do something he is already on it. I love his voice to it’s a great mix of kid and adult. He is soooo much like alicia, caring,hardworking and loving. He is so lucky to have a loving family like all of you. And you guys are so lucky to have him. Ps. Love you guys keep up the hard work!❤️
James seems like the kindest soul ever!! I hope he grows up to be just like his dad, helping and caring for the wife!! The green applesauce is actually good
I'm glad we get to go along on these vacations! Our family is paying off debt this summer so that hopefully we can start saving up for a family trip to the mountains next year! These videos keep me inspired to keep working at it!! We adopted 3 children then had 3 biological children. Love the big family vibes!!
Loved watching James help you on this one. I thought it was so sweet that he knew what the other kids liked as well. Enjoy your vacation and thanks for letting us see a glimpse of your wonderful family.
I'm fairly new to your channel and this is the most I've seen of James and wow, he's a lovely young man. So kind, thoughtful and helpful. You and Josh give yourselves a pat on the back because you are outstanding parents. So much love sent your way from Newfoundland, Canada 🇨🇦 x
They are parents of the year in my book!!!!!!!!! Love all the love they spread to the kids and family...and to the world allowing us to watch and share their life with us.....i find it AMAZING AND FUN AND HAPPY FULLLLLL OF LOVE!!!!
@@Goaway624 So you agree with all the alcoholic drinking when there is adopted children in the home that were born with fetal alcohol syndrome and you think it's okay for her to buy anything and anything for her children without telling them no yes we can't control her lifestyle but what she's doing is wrong by exploding her children and drinking heavily when the kids had FAS
James is honestly such a good kid! He truly is a testament to you and your parenting 🥰 growing up to be a fine young man! Well done mumma! And well done James!
I’m so addicted to watching the grocery videos. I like watching Alicia buy whatever she wants because I’ve always been on a tight budget. Feeding a family of 14 3 meals a day must be so much work and I just really enjoy following her. James is such a good helper too
James is such a wonderful, kind and helpful young man. I often feel like he is a little on the outside so to see so much of his personality is amazing. He is a fine young man and he should be so proud of himself!
James was so helpful, it was adorable how he knew what the other kids wanted! It seemed like he was really excited to help, I bet he is a great older brother!
Wow!!!! James is such a treasure to have him assist you for the bulk of your grocery shopping while in Ocean City! Best wishes to all of your family while you enjoy your vacation! Have fun, Dougherty Dozen!!! I look forward to the vacation recap!
Wow, what an undertaking to have James help with the weekly shopping. Gives him a bit of an insight to see how much food the family consumes on a weekly basis. I would be interested to see a pantry and fridge tour at the end of the week to see what is left at the end of your vacation. Have a great time in OCNJ!!
3k 🙈 for a week.. That's horrific. On processed shite with no nutrition at all. Having more than the average kid count, is NO Excuse to not feed them properly.
I’m actually shocked at the insane amount of food and drinks you bought for just a week. The amount of fats and sugar is atrocious. After all this you have takeout for the first day. I’m sorry but this is appalling and irresponsible.
I got so excited seeing that James went with you! He's so caring and sweet! I just hope my 8 month old son turns out to be even half of what James is like. Enjoy your trip and Happy Birthday Harlee!
I cannot believe you got all those groceries into just the one fridge! Not counting the drink fridge....I should have known you would manage but still I'm amazed at your wizardry in getting it all in. Experience, no doubt, teaches us a lot. I'm going to be enjoying your vacation with you! Just like with my own grown kids and now my grandchildren, I take a lot of pleasure in just seeing kids be happy.
Yay! Was so excited for this vlog! 💕 James is so helpful, thoughtful, and kind ❤️ That is truly a reflection of you and Josh and it’s so refreshing! Thanks for bringing us along with you shopping! As always, your videos make the day so much brighter! ❤️
James was such a pleasure to have on this shopping trip - he is a lovely kind and helpful person with a very cheeky sense of humour. He really added to this video. Great to see you James.
Yesss I’ve been waiting for this!!! love watching these videos, you guys are so great and fun to watch ☺️ Such an amazing family!!! I’m from Buffalo so I love watching you guys and seeing all the Bills gear, NY references, and WEGMANS!!! ( i LOVEEE wegmans!!!) Sending all the love 🧡
I love watching your grocery hauls so much, the stores in America are amazing compared to the ones over here in England some of the food you buy looks sooo good! Your family is the best I’ll never understand how people can give you hate you and josh are true angels ❤️
a lot of this food is banned in the eu due to safety reasons.. USA sells food based on the probability that it'll cause a death rather than banning it outright. If it'll cause even 1 death its banned but USA doesn't care even if just a few people die. The food isnt as amazing as u think
I really hope you donate that food to a local shelter or some families in need and it doesn't all go to waste or get expired. We all know these will get bigger and more extreme. I'm just thinking I personally struggle to feed my family and it would be a huge blessing to receive food especially with the food prices the way they are. These are all business expenses so we know this isn't coming from your personal account.
@@djmsports9168 what happens to all the food that was opened and barely touched? Goes to waste right? Food banks can't take any items that are opened. Which makes this haul a complete waste.
Alicia is so cute the way she talks ! James said how many boxes of gold fish should we get ! She said well how much do you guys eat them- a lot - well get a lot! 🥴😂 I love her! If this food is for a week then yes those babies eat a lot of food because even for 16 people that’s an outrageous amount of food! I just love to watch her buy it 🥴😂😂 Hope you guys are having a blast and stay safe
So awesome that they have a huge fridge and a back-up one in the laundry room. I love these shopping hauls. The fact that Alicia can just get what she needs and always has enough money to buy what everyone likes is the best!
James is so adorable. He is a wonderful big brother, knowing what his siblings like. I really enjoyed this video, getting to see him one on one with you. I love your shopping videos but this is my favorite.
I'm a Jersey girl and we go to OC every year with my husband's family, he's the baby of 9. Everyone gets their own place on the same block. Siblings, nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews!!! Just sorry we weren't down the same time as you all!!!
Was so looking forward to this video😍 can't wait to take my family to the beach (in a month😁) and do our MUCH smaller weeks worth of groceries haul. 😂❤ HAVE FUN GUYSSSSSS!
James knows you so well. "I'll just grab 3 of each, 4 of those, 2 of these." 😂😂 I like how he was also attentive to what the other kids prefer. Like when he was grabbing Mt Dew and the Kind bars for Nevaeh and Dayshawn.
I was waiting for, “But, First coffee.” Lol Bless James heart for thinking of his siblings and being a great helping hands. He thinks of the others instead of trying to get only things he want. James you’re awesome.
I suffer from depression and I saw this family pop up in my recommended videos and I've binge watched them since yesterday lol. I love all these videos
Try to save yourself some videos, lol she’s therapeutic but I feel really unstable on the days she doesn’t really post 😂 I wish I hadn’t binged quite so hard.
✋🏼THIS IS A HONEST QUESTION/CONCERN. Just curious…with y’all eating out everyday so far for almost every meal, do you really think y’all will go through all the groceries? Will y’all bring them home or leave them for the next family? This is an honest concern. Also can you please show your recycling routine? There’s a lot of people who don’t recycle regularly and it might be a kick in the butt!
I wondered about recycling too. Our trash has to be sorted and recycled separately and we have to pay for it to be taken too. I wonder what happens with all those paper plates, bowls and cups etc?
Family of 8 here and for some reason your shopping trips are relaxing and therapeutic for me. When I'm out shopping I'm literally a sweaty Betty. My anxiety is crazy when it comes to checking out.
Each one of the children has their own uniqueness and loveliness - and each is allowed to be themselves. How wonderful for them, if only everyone was raised in such an environment - where being just you was enough. Great parenting. 💙💙💙
Yes! Please show us what you have left over. I know you said in your previous video there wasn’t much space for luggage so you have the roof racks. How will you haul it home if you have a lot left over? Blessing from WV and hope your vacation is amazing!
@@jennifermeadows5193 Most likely her mom's car. Maybe add another storage container on top she has some space in the back of the van seats when you open the door also between the captain seats there's space if necessary to use restroom then remove before getting off.🤷Where there's a will there's a way. Who knows if she will have a lot left over. Maybe some.
Great video. Hope you guys have an amazing time at the beach. Whatever is leftover from all the groceries, you should pack them all up & take them back to your home. And what a great guy is James!!!

These grocery hauls are strangely addictive, I’m like sitting in the kids’ seat in a shopping cart while mom pushes me around the supermarket
Right! I don’t think I spend 3k in 6 months for my family if 4, but watching all the stuff I could buy 🧐
Yessss i love riding along too. Just watching what we get for a week!!!! Its sooo fun!!!!!
And just loading up the cart with all the fun stuff you see! I find these hauls really so enjoyable, relaxing, and addictive. I always root for Alicia to find the elusive Caramel Macchiato coffee creamer. I do grocery delivery because I don't like shopping, but man- love me some DD hauls.
This one is so so long, an hour and 25 mins
This is not addictive

@@sammiemarie14 I think she likes video views.

Yesss I’ve been waiting for this!!! love watching these videos, you guys are so great and fun to watch ☺️ Such an amazing family!!! I’m from Buffalo so I love watching you guys and seeing all the Bills gear, NY references, and WEGMANS!!! ( i LOVEEE wegmans!!!) Sending all the love 🧡
I swear…I’m from the south and we need Wegmans!!! 😂
I love watching your grocery hauls so much, the stores in America are amazing compared to the ones over here in England some of the food you buy looks sooo good!
Your family is the best I’ll never understand how people can give you hate you and josh are true angels ❤️
I agree. I’d be in heaven in that cereal aisle.
🥰🥰🥰
It would be the chips & snacks aisle for me. Sometimes though, it would be just too much choice.😪
The haters who come for this family are simply miserable and jealous, just pitiful souls. LOVE the DD!
a lot of this food is banned in the eu due to safety reasons.. USA sells food based on the probability that it'll cause a death rather than banning it outright. If it'll cause even 1 death its banned but USA doesn't care even if just a few people die. The food isnt as amazing as u think
I am so impressed with how polite and helpful James is. He knows others' likes and dislikes. Awesome big brother!!
I really hope you donate that food to a local shelter or some families in need and it doesn't all go to waste or get expired. We all know these will get bigger and more extreme. I'm just thinking I personally struggle to feed my family and it would be a huge blessing to receive food especially with the food prices the way they are. These are all business expenses so we know this isn't coming from your personal account.
we donated remaining food to the OC food bank 🧡🧡🧡
@@DoughertyDozen you said in another video, the owners of the rental were going to donate the food. You just left it there for them to take care of.
@@conniechong7853 as long as it was donated it shouldn’t matter right?
@@djmsports9168 what happens to all the food that was opened and barely touched? Goes to waste right? Food banks can't take any items that are opened. Which makes this haul a complete waste.
He’s such a great helper for his mom 😊
You are so lucky that James is so willing to help you. I really admire the way he always "steps up to the plate"...
He's helping out so much 🧡🧡🧡
???
Do you donate food you don't consume to a local pantry? So many people could use the extra food.

James is a wonderful young man, he even noticed how much you do every week. Great mum, great son, great family!
Alicia is so cute the way she talks ! James said how many boxes of gold fish should we get ! She said well how much do you guys eat them- a lot - well get a lot! 🥴😂 I love her! If this food is for a week then yes those babies eat a lot of food because even for 16 people that’s an outrageous amount of food! I just love to watch her buy it 🥴😂😂 Hope you guys are having a blast and stay safe
So awesome that they have a huge fridge and a back-up one in the laundry room. I love these shopping hauls. The fact that Alicia can just get what she needs and always has enough money to buy what everyone likes is the best!
Aww James what a trooper! I really love seeing James in these videos, you can tell he has a heart of gold. Good job James
James is such a sweetheart. So polite and helpful. You raised an outstanding man. X
James is very attentive to you and so sweet. What a great helper you chose to go with you.
That is A LOT of groceries! James is comical and a good helper. He’s a good kid.
Omg McDonald’s for lunch and burgers for dinner after buying all that food 😩😩
James is so adorable. He is a wonderful big brother, knowing what his siblings like. I really enjoyed this video, getting to see him one on one with you. I love your shopping videos but this is my favorite.
I'm a Jersey girl and we go to OC every year with my husband's family, he's the baby of 9. Everyone gets their own place on the same block. Siblings, nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews!!! Just sorry we weren't down the same time as you all!!!
Was so looking forward to this video😍 can't wait to take my family to the beach (in a month😁) and do our MUCH smaller weeks worth of groceries haul. 😂❤ HAVE FUN GUYSSSSSS!
That was awesome! One of the best videos so far :) And James was incredibly patient! Can't wait to see your next video! Have fun in the Ocean City!
You have such a great helper with you on this shopping trip. It's so sweet how much he helps you and thinks of what other siblings might want.
James knows you so well. "I'll just grab 3 of each, 4 of those, 2 of these." 😂😂 I like how he was also attentive to what the other kids prefer. Like when he was grabbing Mt Dew and the Kind bars for Nevaeh and Dayshawn.
James is a good kid helping his mother👍🏻
All your children are so sweet! I think you need to bring James food shopping more, he’s such a good helper and so polite!
I was waiting for, “But, First coffee.” Lol
Bless James heart for thinking of his siblings and being a great helping hands. He thinks of the others instead of trying to get only things he want.
James you’re awesome.
I suffer from depression and I saw this family pop up in my recommended videos and I've binge watched them since yesterday lol. I love all these videos
Try to save yourself some videos, lol she’s therapeutic but I feel really unstable on the days she doesn’t really post 😂 I wish I hadn’t binged quite so hard.
I love watching her videos, but it always blows my mind how much she spends on everything!
I got sooo excited when I saw a grocery haul video.
I just adore James, he like a gentle giant. ❤️❤️
I love that James joined you! What a great help!! He has such a servants heart, always willing to help out! Adore you and your family!! 💗💗💗
yall did not need like 16 packages of soda for a 1 week trip. dawg like yall had 5 boxes of mtn dew of 1 weeek, is that a joke? fr
✋🏼THIS IS A HONEST QUESTION/CONCERN. Just curious…with y’all eating out everyday so far for almost every meal, do you really think y’all will go through all the groceries? Will y’all bring them home or leave them for the next family? This is an honest concern. Also can you please show your recycling routine? There’s a lot of people who don’t recycle regularly and it might be a kick in the butt!
I wondered about recycling too. Our trash has to be sorted and recycled separately and we have to pay for it to be taken too. I wonder what happens with all those paper plates, bowls and cups etc?
So glad when you post! Love you and your whole family.
James deserves super big big hug. Like grocery is fun but i know for sure i wont be smiling with that huger grocery haul. Good job James!!
You should show us what food you have left!
Why would she want to do that? There is so much criticism right now that she is simply feeding her family....
@@vasilikipapaoikonomou2442 I'm just curious, it's her kids not mine so that's up to her what she feeds them!
Love your haul, James is precious!!!! Love you guys
Have fun!!!!
Family of 8 here and for some reason your shopping trips are relaxing and therapeutic for me. When I'm out shopping I'm literally a sweaty Betty. My anxiety is crazy when it comes to checking out.
Thank you for sharing these hauls 💗 You're raising quite the gentleman there 😊
Each one of the children has their own uniqueness and loveliness - and each is allowed to be themselves. How wonderful for them, if only everyone was raised in such an environment - where being just you was enough. Great parenting. 💙💙💙
Idk why but watching her grocery shop is relaxing to me.
Same
Just the opposite for me...I get an anxiety attack! She should have planned more. I bet what they don't use gets thrown away.
@@kremi6154 yes a lot of money wasted because she doesn’t shop very smart
Doing such a good job of teaching James to be a great husband - what an adorable family.
OMG! Such an incredible haul. Good job James helping mom out. I just love these types of video, thank you for filming them, it is not easy.
What a great helper James is!! Bless him for helping so much. :)
No ma'am!! After ALL that food! They are having Mc Donald's for lunch and ordering burgers for dinner!!!😳
❤️ You should show us a before picture of food then afterwards to show us what's left over. Ty for sharing
yessss
@@DoughertyDozen There's no way you will use all that food
Yes! Please show us what you have left over. I know you said in your previous video there wasn’t much space for luggage so you have the roof racks. How will you haul it home if you have a lot left over? Blessing from WV and hope your vacation is amazing!
@@jennifermeadows5193 they would need a trailer just for the food lol.
@@jennifermeadows5193 Most likely her mom's car. Maybe add another storage container on top she has some space in the back of the van seats when you open the door also between the captain seats there's space if necessary to use restroom then remove before getting off.🤷Where there's a will there's a way. Who knows if she will have a lot left over. Maybe some.
I like these type of videos because it has no cuts and you get to see what how much food is needed for a week good job keep up the good videos❤
Great video.
Hope you guys have an amazing time at the beach.
Whatever is leftover from all the groceries, you should pack them all up & take them back to your home.
And what a great guy is James!!!
